Talking to machines

From Google to Amazon to Facebook, all of the platforms that emerged as a consequence of our daily activities such as search, shop, chat, collaborate, communicate, have upgraded to artificial intelligence agents. Just look at Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa or Facebook M. Chatbots are their most primitive form. You can ask them questions related to weather conditions, you can make them search for the cheapest flight and book it for you and you can order pizza. Or you could teach them about you and your habits, and make them search, book and order things for you automatically. Most of the activities mentioned above have become tedious tasks for us, humans, mostly because they're very simple, intuitive and some of them, recurrent.
